Abstract excerpt
G protein-coupled (GPC) receptors are phosphorylated in response to ligand binding, a modification that promotes receptor desensitization or downregulation. The alpha-factor pheromone receptor (Ste2p) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a GPC receptor that is hyperphosphorylated and ubiquitinated upon binding alpha-factor. Ubiquitination triggers Ste2p internalization into the endocytic pathway. Here we demonstrate...
